In 2019, her team finished eighth at the national youth championships. Before COVID hit in 2020, Ciccarelli's team was second classified in the series B2 Championship.
High School: Ciccarelli attended Liceo Statale Laura Bassi in Bologna, Italy.
Personal: Born Nov. 24, 2003…daughter of Marisa Furini and Bruno Ciccarelli…"I chose Marshall because when I met the three volleyball coaches, they gave me a lot of familiarity and confidence. They told me about the friendly and helpful people at Marshall and the very creative and pleasant environment there. I can't wait to get to know them and my future teammates better and to be able to study and live within the structures that are there,”…lists her favorite hobby as spending free time with friends and family.
